Last I read Eaton wasn't making truetracs for the m210/m220
I wish these were the standard LSD from Jeep.

14234 is the Elocker. Thought I read the Trruetracs were coming, but I don't see them in stock anywhere yet?Eaton now has a True Trac available for the Dana 44 M210 axle. Part 14234-1

Crap! Sorry guys. I misread Eaton's website. The Trutracs are not yet available.14234 is the Elocker. Thought I read the Trruetracs were coming, but I don't see them in stock anywhere yet?
AH, should have known since I worked the GMT 560 platform as well. You got the last model year of those bad boys. Very niceNo the older (mine is a 2009) Kodiak/TopKick series of Medium Duty trucks. (The Red truck is a Mercedes 1017AF)
Why disable ABS?Doing 4.88 gears with front and back truetrac next week.
I'm hearing I have to use my tazer to turn off the ABS befor engaging 4wd..
Im not an engineer, so trying to reiterate the explanation that was given to me wouldn't help lolWhy disable ABS?
I'm assuming whomever told you that was thinking about disabling traction control?Im not an engineer, so trying to reiterate the explanation that was given to me wouldn't help lol
I think it was something to do with the way the vehicle, thru the braking system, detects wheel slippage
I’ve got a Truetrac in my JK (Rear only). I’ve never disabled my ABS or traction control and everything works great. If anything, the Truetrac causes the traction control to hardly ever kick in because traction is so good now.Doing 4.88 gears with front and back truetrac next week.

You sure they were Truetracs? Mine locks up instantly.From what I have seen if your paying the $$$$ for install I would go with a real selectable locker. I used to do a ton of off-roading with multiple clubs but my primary club had alot of jeep, ford and yota builds. A few friends with Tru-tracs would have issues with them failing to lock up. It was very noticeable in climbing situations with a complete stop the sudden moderate-heavy throttle, usually would happen on a tough obstacle where one tire would just not engage. They would need to stop then start over and over again and get wheelspeed up to get it to work. Most of the time they worked fine but they did get finicky. I bet I could find a video of my friends Ranger having issues if I looked hard enough.
Ratcheting (lunchbox) lockers are nice on trails for turning but after a couple years or lots of abuse the pins inside fail and need to be replaced. I ran an Aussie that I liked, but the install was free and I was a college student.
If your going through the $$$ to install it’s worth the extra to go all the way. Only failures I have seen on selectable have been activating mechanisms.
Yup, the JK rear axle is not the same as the JT front axle. As a matter of fact, the front axle is different too, a truetrac upfront is plug and play on a JK.I’ve got a Truetrac in my JK (Rear only).
